The formation of a new army corps within the Ukrainian Ground Forces is underway, as reported by Ukrainian Military Pages. The report highlights an ongoing transition to a corps-based command structure within the Ukrainian military. Presently, the Ground Forces consist of three army corps—the 9th, 10th, and 11th (previously known as the Reserve Corps), with a fourth currently being developed. In addition to the Ground Forces, both the Air Assault Forces and the Marines of the Ukrainian Navy have their own corps. The news about this development comes from internal sources within the Ukrainian Ground Forces and is intended to enhance the military’s operational capability, allowing for more effective management of large-scale combat operations and the independent handling of operations in varied environments.

This structural innovation responds to the complexities presented by larger combat operations and increased military engagements since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Historically, the concept of army corps emerged to support mass armies and simplify the command of vast military formations. Each of the existing army corps in the Ukrainian Ground Forces comprises multiple mechanized brigades, a reconnaissance regiment or battalion, and various specialized units; they are commanded by a Major General and supported by Brigadier Generals fulfilling staff roles
